Some metrics have been renamed and their type adapted to be more usable in
Prometheus:
* haproxy_process_uptime_seconds -> haproxy_process_start_time_seconds
* haproxy_process_max_memory -> haproxy_process_max_memory_bytes
* haproxy_process_pool_allocated_total -> haproxy_process_pool_allocated_bytes
* haproxy_process_pool_used_total -> haproxy_process_pool_used_bytes
* haproxy_process_ssl_cache_lookups -> haproxy_process_ssl_cache_lookups_total
* haproxy_process_ssl_cache_misses -> haproxy_process_ssl_cache_misses_total
No backport needed. See issue #81 on github.
Following metrics have been removed:
* haproxy_frontend_connections_rate_current (ST_F_CONN_RATE)
* haproxy_frontend_http_requests_rate_current (ST_F_REQ_RATE)
* haproxy_*_current_session_rate (ST_F_RATE)
These rates can be deduced using the total value with this kind of formula:
rate(haproxy_frontend_connections_total[1m])
No backport needed. See issue #81 on github.
Since the flag EOI was added on channels, some hidden bugs in the prometheus
exporter now leads to error. the visible effect is that responses are
truncated.
So first of all, channel_add_input() must be called when the response headers
and the EOM block are added. To be sure to correctly update the response channel
(especially to_forward value). Then the request must really be fully
consumed. And finally, the return clause in the switch has been replaced by a
break. It was totally wrong to skip the end of the function in the states
PROMEX_DONE and PROMEX_ERROR. (Note that PROMEX_ERROR was never used, so it was
replaced by PROMEX_END just to ease reading the code).
No need to backport this patch, the Prometheus exporter does not exist in early
versions.
It has been developped as a service applet. Internally, it is called
"promex". To build HAProxy with the promex service, you should use the Makefile
variable "EXTRA_OBJS". To be used, it must be enabled in the configuration with
an "http-request" rule and the corresponding HTTP proxy must enable the HTX
support. For instance:
frontend test
mode http
...
option http-use-htx
http-request use-service prometheus-exporter if { path /metrics }
...
See contrib/prometheus-exporter/README for details.
